Preventive Care That Protects Your Smile for Life
Routine Dental Cleanings & Exams are the cornerstone of a healthy smile. At Ray Dental, we provide thorough, personalized preventive care designed to help patients maintain optimal oral health and prevent more complex dental issues before they start. Our approach goes beyond the basics of cleaning — we focus on education, early detection, and patient comfort to make every visit a positive experience.
We proudly serve Fort Collins and surrounding communities, including Windsor, Loveland, Timnath, and Greeley.
Why Regular Dental Cleanings & Exams Matter
Even with daily brushing and flossing, plaque and tartar can build up in hard-to-reach areas. Professional Dental Cleanings remove this buildup, helping to prevent gum disease, tooth decay, and discoloration. Routine Dental Exams allow us to monitor your oral health, detect small issues early, and address them before they require more invasive care.
Visiting our Fort Collins dental office every six months for your Teeth Cleaning and exam is one of the most effective ways to protect both your smile and your overall health.
What to Expect During Your Visit
Your preventive appointment is comfortable, comprehensive, and tailored to your needs. During a typical visit, you can expect:
- Digital X-rays and Imaging – Taken as needed to monitor bone health, tooth alignment, and any hidden decay.
- Comprehensive Dental Exam – We evaluate your teeth, gums, bite, and soft tissues for signs of cavities, gum disease, or other concerns.
- Professional Dental Cleaning – Our hygienists use specialized tools to remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains for a cleaner, brighter smile.
- Oral Cancer Screening – Conducted as part of our preventive focus to identify any early warning signs.
- Personalized Recommendations – We’ll discuss your results, review your home care routine, and recommend any additional treatments, such as Fluoride Treatment or Dental Sealants.
Our team takes time to ensure that you feel comfortable, informed, and confident throughout your visit.
A Personalized Approach to Preventive Care
Every smile is unique, which means preventive care should never be one-size-fits-all. At Ray Dental, we tailor each Dental Cleaning & Exam to your specific needs, lifestyle, and risk factors. For some patients, more frequent cleanings may be beneficial — especially for those with a history of gum disease or excessive plaque buildup.
We use advanced Dental Technology, including digital imaging and intraoral cameras, to ensure precision and comfort during every procedure. This technology allows us to identify issues early, make accurate diagnoses, and show you what we see in real time.
Partnering in Your Oral Health
We believe preventive dentistry is a partnership between our dental team and our patients. During your Teeth Cleaning and exam, we’ll share practical guidance on daily brushing, flossing, and nutrition to help you maintain your results between visits.
For patients who experience sensitivity or dental anxiety, we offer Sedation Dentistry options to make cleanings and exams more relaxing. Dr. Veronica Ray and her team provide calm, judgment-free care so you can feel at ease throughout your appointment.

How often should I schedule dental cleanings and exams?
Most patients benefit from a dental cleaning and exam every six months. However, your individual needs may vary based on your oral health history, risk of gum disease, or presence of existing conditions.
Are dental cleanings painful?
No, dental cleanings are generally not painful. You may feel some pressure or mild sensitivity if you have inflammation or tartar buildup, but we take care to make the process as comfortable as possible.
What’s the difference between a cleaning and an exam?
A Teeth Cleaning focuses on removing plaque, tartar, and surface stains. A Dental Exam is the evaluation portion of your visit, where your dentist checks for decay, gum health, bite alignment, and signs of more serious conditions.
Is fluoride treatment included with cleanings?
Fluoride treatment is not automatically included but is often recommended following your cleaning — especially if you’re at higher risk of cavities.
Can I combine a cleaning with other treatments?
Yes. Many patients schedule routine cleanings in coordination with other services such as Dental Fillings or Oral Cancer Screening for convenience and continuity of care.
